The Mounts

The Mounts

The Mounts is a small hamlet, containing only 17 houses. It is sited on the main A381 road between Totnes and Kingsbridge, and is part of East Allington, though it lies about one mile away from the main village.

Historically, The Mounts was on the border of the area which was evacuated during World War II so that secret rehearsals for the D-Day Landings could be carried out using Slapton Sands. Properties on the east side of the A381 were evacuated, whereas properties on the west side were allowed to remain occupied.

It was also in East Allington Church that the announcement of the evacuation of the area was first made on the 12th November, 1943.
